Rhubarb and Apple Cupcake

Posted on September 10, 2017 by Kstar

I haven’t spent much time inventing recipes. Actually, this recipe will only be my second attempt, and first successful one. It started when I wanted to make cupcakes my sister requested a rhubarb and apple. I couldn’t find a recipe I liked. I could find muffins, and full sized cakes, but nothing small and fluffy.
So, I made my own recipe.
So, here’s the recipe:
Rhubarb and Apple Cupcakes
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cloves
3 tsp. allspice
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup rhubarb (diced)
1 cup Apple (peeled and diced)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Fill muffin tin with cupcake wrappers. (This recipe makes about a dozen and a half cupcakes)
Mix together butter, flour, brown sugar, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and the spices. In a separate bowl mix together eggs and buttermilk. Mix together both mixtures and fold in apples and rhubarb.
Fill muffin tins about 2/3 full. Bake in preheated oven for about 12-16 minutes.

Suggestions:
I haven’t tried any variations yet, but from my family’s feedback, I think these might improve the recipe.
1. Add another half cup of Apple’s
2. Increase the amount of spices, particularly of the cinnamon.
3. Add ginger

Most of my week was spent with either band or studying, but there were a few other minor things I accomplished.

For one thing, I invented a cupcake recipe. I’ll post the recipe later today, but, here’s a picture as a sneak peek.
On top of that, me and my sister repainted a doll crib. It was white, but the paint was chipping off. So, we ended up sorting through our family’s old paint collection, getting rid of a lot of old stuff, and finding this purple paint that was still in good condition. I think it was the same as the ones on our living room walls.
It’s pretty now. I’ll post a picture after I finish cleaning up the dolls just side of it.

And, and on the note of posting pictures… I believe I’ve already mentioned on this blog that I put a bunch of my sister’s artwork on the wall…well, here’s photos of that:

So…hi.

I know I haven’t posted in forever! Well, not since over a month at least. Anyway, marching band and school have both started now. Robotics club starts next Thursday. So, life is busy. I’ve been trying to leave time to spend with my family, but it gets hard sometimes. I have tomorrow off of school, but I should probably some work instead of just lazing around. I haven’t accomplished much this weekend-mostly due to me getting sick.
I’m feeling a bit better now, which is good.
